“New Basic Education” and me 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lan Ye 《Frontiers of Education in China》2009,4(4):558-609
Initiated in September 1994, “New Basic Education” first underwent a five-year Exploratory Research phase from September 1994
to May 1999, which was followed by a second five-year Developmental Research phase from September 1999 to May 2004. Thus during
the past ten years, “New Basic Education” has undergone a complete research process, including the presentation of the problem,
the formation of results, and finally the dissemination, application, perfection, and development of its research. This study
has preliminarily explored the transformation of schools, educational theories and educational research methods in China.
The author hopes to respond actively to educational changes caused by our transforming society through her professional research.
She presents in this paper the retrospective notes of her subjective state, such as her thought process, planning, actions
and experiences while conducting and developing “New Basic Education” research.
“New Basic Education” research originated from ten years of theoretical preparation (amassing basic educational theory, the
methodology for educational research, and meta-research of educational disciplines), as well as from the author’s personal
experiences conducting field research during the past three years and her profound reflections on the nature of the social
transformations taking place in late 20th century China. During the Exploratory Research phase, “New Basic Education” research—which consists of reconstructive research
on educational theory and practice—regards the rebuilding of educational aims as its theoretical starting point. Additionally,
“New Basic Education” research regards schools, which provide nine-year compulsory education as the entire unit of practical
research. The research also focused on classroom education, teaching reform, and school management for the experimentation
and reform of the schools. As for the core issue of methodology, the crux of the issue lies in how to deal with the relations
between theoretical research and practical research and the relationship between theoretical researchers and practical researchers. 相似文献

Research concerning the supervisor role in separate educational programmes has been undertaken, but cross-professional studies
are few. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of supervising mentors in Sweden during the practice-based,
off-campus sections of the education in teaching, nursing, and social care. The study used a participatory phenomenological
approach in which four researchers and nineteen supervising mentors worked together in the research process which was accomplished
in four different phases. The data collecting method used was interview. The results constituted a main essence entitled “Struggle
of power and control of professional quality enhancement” built upon four themes: “Constitutes a motivating force”, “Feelings
of responsibility”, “Feelings of frustration” and “Wishes for alteration”. Conclusions from the study are that communication,
information and contact between the professionals in the fields and university teachers need to be strengthen to keep up supervising
mentors’ motivating force and to give them support. 相似文献

A science teacher and her mentor reflect on their participation in the Learning Research Cycle, a professional learning model
that bridges research and practice in both university and public school contexts. Teachers do scientific research in scientists’
laboratories, then bridge their scientific experiences with the design of new classroom learning environments and teacher-driven
educational research projects. Science students do scientific research via their teachers’ lessons that bridge laboratory
research with classroom learning. Scientists and educational researchers bridge their research interests to create new questions
centered on teaching and learning in authentic science learning environments. The authors engaged in this qualitative inquiry
present their perspectives on “what goes on,” “what we have learned,” and “what it means to the larger community.” 相似文献

At the general presentation of the 48th session of the International Conference on Education, “Inclusive Education: The Way
of the Future”, a “holistic” approach was advocated to improve educational opportunities for children who are excluded from
an equal education and adults who are illiterate. The first part of this paper argues that a more effective approach would
be “piecemeal social engineering”. The second section presents examples of the piecemeal or targeted approach and offers suggestions
for applying it to improve educational opportunities for this group. 相似文献

This study was designed to illuminate the state of education in Taiwan by constructing Educational Indicator Systems. The
study, sponsored by the National Science Council between 1998 and 2000, was the first comprehensive indicator project to cover
all educational levels in Taiwan. Various research methods were used, including panel discussion, conference, setting up website,
Delphi technique, questionnaires and visits to 14 international organizations and government agencies. In the process, two
educational indicator systems based upon the “Context-Input-Process-Progress” (CIPP) model were formulated: “Taiwan’s Educational
Indicator System by educational level” (TEIS by el) with 99 indicators, and “Significant Indicators of Taiwan’s Education”
(SITE) with 34 indicators. Finally, some limitations and suggestions were offered for the future development of Educational
Indicator Systems. 相似文献

The aim of this article is to shed light on some aspects of professional responsibility by investigating students’ visions
of future work and notions of professional responsibility. The data is based on interviews with samples of freshmen in three
educational programmes at the University of Oslo in Norway. The data has been analysed in relation to two thesis claimed by
Steven Brint: “The rise of a utilitarian ethos” in higher education and the movement from “social trustee professionalism”
to “expert professionalism”. The findings show that the students in our sample do not think of higher education primarily
as a means to get credentials that will be useful in the labour marked. An intellectual interest in the discipline is the
most prevalent reason for the students’ educational choices. Furthermore our findings support an orientation towards “expert
professionalism” rather than “social trustee professionalism”. But, embedded in the perspective of an expert there is an emphasis on ethical knowledge, moral and/or societal responsibility
and the wish to do good for others. However, the students’ sense of responsibility seems to be restricted to certain “localism”
of their specific occupation. Based on the findings we argue that the students reveal a moral awareness that should be taken
seriously by the educational institution in order to foster critical rationality and professional commitments. 相似文献

The proposition of “the more national, the more international”, when applied to education, is not absolutely right. Given
education, educational research and the modernization of educational research, these can be more international only when their
essence represents, reflects or implies the trend of human education and educational research. Otherwise, it would not be
the case.

Many have argued that educational research does little to change (and may actually reproduce) the social-structural inequalities shaping the quality of high-poverty urban schools. Building from this premise, this paper asks: How can university-based scholars of urban education do research that encourages, produces, or informs change in urban schools and the conditions that shape them? I examine two broad aspects of urban educational research: the questions we ask and the methods we use. In both cases, I critique the dominant paradigm of technical rationality—one in which school failure is approached as a localized technical problem unveiled through neutral, objective, and experimental research methods. In contrast, I propose a paradigm of “political rationality” (Klees, Rizzini, & Dewees, 2000, Children on the streets of the Americas: homelessness, education and globalization in the United States, Brazil and Cuba. New York: Routledge) that approaches school failure and research practice as political issues situated within and shaped by social relations of power. Innovations in urban education research that reflect the logic of political rationality include: more contextualized and politicized analyses of urban schools, and the expanded use of engaged, collaborative, and participatory research methods. Drawing on this work and my experience implementing a participatory research project, I propose a framework for activist research in urban education, and critically evaluate the limits and possibilities of such work to effect change in urban schools.Kysa Nygreen is a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Community Studies Department, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA. 相似文献

Within the sphere of contemporary social sciences, the terms “modernity,” “post-modernity” and “globalization” have penetrated,
as the core concepts, into various fields of social sciences in a logical way. In constituting the concept of “modernity,”
sociology of education develops the educational theory, as sociological theory does, into a “grand narrative” and “foundationalist”
theory; the contribution of post-modernity is pluralism and self-examination in an attempt to transcend modernity. Globalization,
a kind of expanded modernity, makes education sociologists broaden their perspective from single and traditional “nationality,”
“society” and “nation” to an international society and even to the global society, which has broken through the research paradigm
of modernity with ethnocentrism, anthropocentrism and Euro-centrism. These changes have required urgent constitution of the
conceptions and theoretical frameworks of sociology of education to be applied on a global level.

In a crisis-plagued world looking to higher education for knowledge, wisdom, and solutions, higher education itself is stumbling.
Its transformational thinking has frozen up like an overstressed computer program; and we need, in effect, to “push the reset
button.” In 1953, the renowned and controversial president of the University of Chicago, Robert M. Hutchins, authored a refreshing
and provocative work, The University of Utopia, containing ideas that still challenge today’s paradigms. He argued for institutional independence over “accountability,”
“outcomes,” and “stakeholders.” He indicted educational evils he called “industrialization,” “specialization,” “philosophical
diversity,” and “social and political conformity” and suggested ways to defeat them. Although his 56-year-old thoughts on
reconceptualizing the multiversity are not a panacea, they could help higher education make a fresh start. This essay reintroduces
the modern reader to Hutchins’s iconoclastic and stimulating ideas in the hope of restarting the stalled agenda for educational
reform. 相似文献
